How to consume paav bhaji without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the pav bhaji you consume. Smaller portions will contribute to a smaller rise in glucose levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Include more fiber-rich foods in your meal. You can add a side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes to your meal, which can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or a small handful of nuts such as almonds or walnuts to your meal. These fats can help reduce the rate at which carbohydrates are digested.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, opt for whole grain or multigrain bread instead of the traditional white bread pav. Whole grains are digested more slowly and can help moderate glucose spikes.

Include Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal, such as grilled chicken, paneer, or tofu. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during the meal. Proper hydration can aid digestion and help in moderating glucose responses.

Chew Slowly and Mindfully

Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly can improve digestion and help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Incorporate Vinegar

Consider adding a small amount of vinegar-based dressing to your salad. Vinegar has properties that can help manage blood sugar spikes.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity after eating, such as a short walk, to help your body use up some of the glucose.

Monitor Ingredients

Use less butter and oil in the preparation of bhaji. Excessive fats can contribute to insulin resistance, impacting glucose levels.
